A member of Haiti's electoral board speaking anonymously to local media said that electoral authorities are looking at the possibility of maybe reporting the presidential election due to take place Sunday, October 9th, to instead, October 24, for many reasons. To allow authorities more time to focus all their ressources on rescuing and providing relief to the tens of thousands displaced by the devastating storm; and also because officials fear that sensible voting materials would not make it to affected areas on time. The road access to the Southern peninsula of Haiti remains inaccessible after the bridge connecting that area to the rest of the country, was washed away by a raging river.
